‘THE RED ROAD,’ STARRING JASON MOMOA, MARTIN HENDERSON AND JULIANNE NICHOLSON, RETURNS FOR A SECOND SEASON

ON APRIL 2, 10PM ET/PT

A shocking, high-profile murder shakes the town as the high-octane drama from acclaimed writer Aaron Guzikowski kicks off its sophomore season

New York – February 11, 2015 – SundanceTV announced today that the second season, 6 x 60, of its original scripted series “The Red Road” will kick off Thursday, April 2, at 10PM ET/PT.

Touted as “gripping” by The Associated Press, “The Red Road” doesn’t miss a beat of the action for its sophomore season. The hard-hitting thriller from acclaimed writer Aaron Guzikowski (Contraband, Prisoners) and veteran producer Sarah Condon (“Looking,” “Bored to Death”), takes viewers on an unexpected journey to a deep, dark world where a local murder is just the tip of the iceberg. It sets off a ripple effect that forces everyone in town to question their values, allegiances and allies.

The season two opener jumps directly into the fallout from the adrenaline-filled shootout involving local cop Harold Jensen (Martin Henderson) and Philip Kopus (Jason Momoa), a dangerous member of a local Native American tribe. As Harold’s wife Jean (Julianne Nicholson) continues to put her life back together in the aftermath of season one’s events, rumors begin to swirl that the tribe’s newfound federal recognition will lead to the building of a casino up on the mountain. With tensions mounting, and Kopus’ mother Marie (Tamara Tunie) arguing vehemently against it, the stage is set for a shocking discovery. By the end of the opening episode an unexpected murder has taken place that hints at the ripped-from-the-headlines topics ahead, including toxic dumping which raises the stakes for all the characters.

In season two every character faces an ordeal: Jean learns of dark family secrets; Kopus battles his conscience; and, Harold must decide where his morals lie. Can they all find a path to redemption?

“After a thrilling inaugural journey down ‘The Red Road’, we are eager to continue this wild ride with fans into a new season,” said Sarah Barnett, President, SundanceTV. “Season two will continue to explore two opposing worlds, represented by our exceptional leading men Jason Momoa and Martin Henderson and the complex web of lies, compromises and shared history that seeps into their daily lives.”

The series is executive produced by Guzikowski and Condon in addition to Randall Einhorn (“Fargo,” “Wilfred”), who has newly joined as an Executive Producer.

Viewers can re-watch season one with its release on DVD, March 10 and a marathon on SundanceTV, Saturday, March 28, 6AM – 12noon ET/PT. It is also currently for sale on iTunes and will be available on Netflix mid-March.
